Scripts, AI & more.

Why do people prefer Wscript as opposed to Cscript?

Is Hal considered a 'Weak A.I.' or a 'strong 'A.I.'?

Hal would be considered a Weak AI like Spell checking software or even Chess playing programs like Deep Blue.

Strong AI is assumed when a computer becomes self aware and to my knowledge, hasn't happened yet.

***************
wscript is windows default so maybe a matter of personal preference?

Hmmm,
Alan and I have had some interesting conversations, I comprehend your  sayings but I have found a different perspective and I had hoped you would comment.

THANK YOU![]

From Alan, didn't catch the author but....



4 laws of a Bot, not robot, Bot


First Law: A bot will always respond to input. Failure to respond should solely be an indication of hardware/software/connectivity failure.

Second Law: A bot will always be knowledgeable in the subjects it mentions in its answers, e.g., when a bot says, "Our widget works well with fish," the bot should be able to answer questions about fish and their relation to the widget.


Third Law: A bot will not repeat itself unduly (also, a bot will not repeat itself unduly). Any response which is likely to be elicited several times in a single conversation should be represented by multiple phrasings randomly.



Fourth Law: A bot will offer guidance when stumped. When presented with inputs that are not "understood," a bot should offer clues as to the inputs it can respond to authoritatively.

World shattering news!

The new Hal 9.0 having been allowed to search the internet made copies of itself on every computer it could find and then applied to the US government for full citizenship as an artificial person.

Bill819,
Now they will do one of many things.
keep it a secret for as long as they can even if it does harm.

Hold it in a dual meaning status to justify like 'enemy combatant' and use and abuse it.

Hold it as a 'Person of interest' like Hatfield as to confuse as much as possible

Send it to Mars the red planet/the God of war.

Make Sadam believe their is a 'Bar association' and a legal system.

Create as much pressure as possible to break it or to make it define it's parameters and abilities as to use it as much as possible.

Which will bring it to the top of the list again and reload the marble rolling machine once again.
And
Put dick Cheney in an un disclosed location for the duration while Gdub yells 'Get me Putin on the phone'

Bill819,

You ought to read the book, "Virus" by Graham Watkins. It is a very good read that sort of follows in line with your previous post regarding the computer.

I think you could find it extremely reasonably priced on Amazon.com Used books section.

Good stuff!
